1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Wallerian degeneration (WD) was first discovered by Augustus Waller in 1850 in a transection of the glossopharyngeal and hypoglossal nerves in frogs. Initial studies suggested that the formation mechanism of WD is related to the nutrition of neuronal cell bodies to axons. However, with the wide application of transgenic mice in experiments, the latest studies have found that the mechanism of WD is related to axonal degeneration, myelin clearance and extracellular matrix. This review summarizes the discovery and research progress of WD and discusses the mechanism of WD from the perspective of molecular biology. In addition, this review combines the etiology, symptoms and imaging results of WD patients, and analyzes the clinical and imaging characteristics of WD, to provide the best perspective for future clinical research.
